The Newest: AG: Lady can use medical marijuana at college

13/01/2018

The parents of a suburban Chicago elementary school student are suing School District 54 in Schaumburg and the state of IL for the right to use medical marijuana at school.

Illinois' medical cannabis law prohibits possessing or using marijuana on school grounds or buses. The girl, only identified in the lawsuit as "A.S.", is on a regimen of chemotherapy to treat her Leukemia.

The Illinois Attorney General agreed not to prosecute, and the school district said its goal was to have Surin back in the classroom with no legal consequences for staff who administer the medicine. The district even requested that school officials be allowed to administer the marijuana treatments but state officials reiterated that medical marijuana is not permitted on school grounds.

After Friday's hearing, the girl's parents said they were relieved and excited by the outcome. They hope she continues to improve as she is weaned off the other medications and as she gets back to school.

A lawyer for the school district said Schaumburg District #54 owes a debt of gratitude to Ashley's family for bringing the issue to light.

Occasionally, when the patch is insufficient to control her seizures, she uses cannabis oil drops with small amounts of THC on her tongue or wrists to regulate her epilepsy, the suit stated. Her parents say she can't go to the school without it.

State school officials made clear that possession or consumption of medical marijuana would violate IL law, DuRoss said. A physician certified the girl to use medical marijuana to help treat the seizures. The Surin's said Ashley has improved dramatically since she has been getting the medical marijuana treatments.

Officials of nursing organizations generally did not want nurses to administer the drug at schools, as they do with other medications, because they were anxious about the federal law prohibiting marijuana possession, said the sponsor of the law, Colorado state Rep. Jonathan Springer, a Democrat.
